The older Rivarossi-AHM models had very deep wheel flanges, and the locomotives had noisy rough running motors.They are a collectors' item to some, but virtually never sought out for actual railroading.In the mid-to-late 70's, Rivarossi switched to ".039"flanges, which were not RP25 wheels, but at least they didn't bounce thru turnouts.AHM printed "with .039 flanges" on one end of the box on these newer units. Value is always whatever anyone is willing to pay.The suggestion to check ebay is good,it tells you what people are actually paying. I sell equipment at train shows several times a year. Most older AHM-Rivarossi steam locos go for the equiv. of (USD$) : Switchers $20-30 Pacifics, Hudsons $50-60 Articulateds $80-100 diesels $12-15 freight cars $2-3 lighted passenger cars $12-15 "New in Box" of all these gets maybe 10-15% more $. Your 'made in Yugoslavia' models are made by Mehano, in Slovenia, who make a lot of stuff for IHC and for 'house-brand' grocery and hardware train sets.Not much value for 'old Mehano'. regards / Mike
